Hi again!
I never new that somebody made a 505 kit until now. Does anybody have it, and if so, how do they like it, does it overheat, how much did it cost, is it too loud,etc........

i really like mine. it has large amounts of excess power. it is really for the go fast guys, who wanna run with the top bikes. i have no complaints with mine at all. chadexer seems to like his from wha i hear. wish i could have been at little sahara to dominate with him against the four strokes and give him someone to run with.

does it do well in the trails and stuff or is it for full throttle only, and how much did it cost?

11-05-2002, 07:50 PM
they are slower than my 260cc R:macho

Hey, thanks alot!
Chris400extreme, Is yours too loud? Have you had problems with it overheating? Have you ever broken it before? How much was it?
I still need to know this.

chris400extreme's bike is very powerful. when i rode wit him we didnt have much room to open it up. but from what i saw it was dangerously fast. if would consider getting the same set up. if it comes from mickey dunlap's 4 stroke tech, it has to be good.

The TC 505 is absolutely awesome,,,more power than you really need actually!! If your looking for a fast and reliable GNCC machine then FST's 500 would be real nice,,,but if your looking to have the fastest 400 out there then the TC 505 is for you! Talking to Mickey he says he doesnt build his motors to be the fastest out there, just to have great power and be reliable,,,Tom built my 505 to be the fastest out there(and he says it still will be reliable:) ))and he done an awesome job!! There is no doubt, after the little racing I got to do, that there isnt a 4 stroke out there faster than the 505, unless I come across a Sparks Raptor or 505EX!!!!! if your looking for the fastest 400EX around, then its by far TC or Sparks,,but be ready to wait quite a while to get your motor back!!!

I think its still in his profile cause it blew a head gasket and whatever else the first day he raced it and im guessin he maybe sent it back to TC. He'll probably have it back by 2004, lol.

When TC sent me the motor and carb, he told me the carb should be alittle on the rich side,,,well when I fired it up it was idling rich(I could tell becasue it would idle great cold but when it warmed up it would idle at all,,kind of like the choke effect) but the deal with the Lectron is it can idle rich but when opened up can run lean in the 1/4 through 3/4 throttle range, which it was doing on mine! Well I didnt know that so I leaned it out some more,,,still ran funny of course so I leaned it out even more,,,I had the thing running so lean that it blew out the head gasket!!! The best thing is it was my fault and TC is still fixin it for free!! Cant beat that!! I talked to TC today and he gave me the tracking number,,,I will have the motor back Mon(he sent it today)!! And it will still be down a while because I sent my header and midpipe to be Jet-Hot coated and Im havig the side cases polished,,,and a few other things!!!! Did a little polishing on my TC pipe and bumper today(they were both brushed aluminum),,,still got the Tinner scoops and side cases to do(I will probably send the side cases to a professional,,to much work!!))

Knighttime, im asking you to please ignore my posts,,,these childish flames from you are really getting old!

ok if TC blows so much, how comes Doug Gust, Traci Cecco, Jason Luburgh, Greg Trew, pretty much the top 4 stroke racers in the world run his stuff?? I bet Chads Engine is the fastest 400EX out there!! What kinda POS do u run. Prob. some 416 kit or something, and u wanna run you rmouth on a 505 stroker kit??? Give me a break!!

I am in no way sticking up for Chadexer or am I a TC fan but don't bash TC racing for one bad blown headgasket, crap happens. I am a mechanic by trade and sometimes things happen but I don't think it was TC fault either but I do commend them for doing the right thing and fixing it for him. All the big builders out there are good and they all have there pros and cons but its nice to see one nut up and fix something even if its not there fault.... JMO

ChadEXer
11-06-2002, 02:50 PM
I actually couldnt believe he was fixing it for me for no charge! He told me when I called him that he thinks it may be running lean to tape up the airbox and see if it runs better, but I insisted it was rich and leaned it out even more anyway! Tom said "I will take care of it this time but next time you need to be a little more careful,,and before you jump on the drag strip make sure the carb is right"!!!!!!!! he said being that the head gasket was blown and i rode it for so long while it was blown that it cracked the cylinder a little too,,,he is fixing it all for free and even shipped it back to me on him!!!!!

Keeps my motor running with no problems..and it didn't cost me a fortune to have it built..

Ps..I'm not bad mouthing TC racing either I've rode one of his national 416 motors and it was very fast...extreme why you bad mouthing 416 kits????

Extremeracer167

I am my own engine builder, lmfao. It wasnt that hard and the engine mods u c im my sig above only cost $300.00. I drank beer the whole time and the engine never smoked and nothing has blew up. It runs perfect and could crush a stock 400ex. Sorry if u dont like 416's, it sounds like u have other "issues" though, lmfao.

first off i race mx so why the f*** would i want a 505 that would only be for drag racing and there extremly unreliable..thats why curtis sparks won't make them anymore becuase he don't wanna put his name on something thats not reliable.

running around the backyard behind your big sisters powerwheels is not racing.....

TC is a great motor builder and you are just jealous you have a stock motor, you would take a TC built motor in a heartbeat, if you race mx like you say then you should se alot of TC built quads, that is, if you can see that far ahead of ya

11-06-2002, 06:00 PM
i think that cahd has a right to brag yea he has had a few major problems but you wait untill he gets it back this time. He will get it running right and it will kick all your a** I mean you know it is going to be a good prduct whne the maker stands behind it as much as tc just did if i ever wanted to get a 505 i know were i would be going to get it done.

ChadEXer, does yours get hot? Is it unreliable? How much was it? How the heck do you reach TC anyway? Would an oil tank and cooler help it stay cool so I wouldn't have to shut it down every two runs up comp hill? I still need to know this.

Well the voices in my head are acting up again and my head keeps twitchen to the side. But the way I see it,,why would you take a motor and push it out so big that you have to be terrified it's gonna blow any minute,,that's kinda of an oxymoron right?? or left??? bare with me guys i'm not playin with a full deck,,kow what i mean. anywhat, buy a banshee for drags a 400ex pushed to a 505 is like takin a 69 VW beetle and puttin a 454 big block in it. It's not a logical decision and reliability is about as good as the medication i'm on,,it werks sometimes andsometimes id doesn't but i'm still stupid no mater what:confused: Im' goin ta lay down now my hed's hertin again,,quit talkin ta me liek that wo's at the door again please stop scearmin at me..:(

Extremeracer167
11-07-2002, 08:48 AM
ok, he gets a faulty head gasket, and all the sudden the engine is unreliable?? I guess 440 kits are completely unreliable too then right? Or anytime u rebuild any engine, if that head gasket blows, its unreliable

ChadEXer
11-07-2002, 08:51 AM
Sandy Crab,
The Trinity 465 was actually the first kit I was wanting to get,,I even posted on here telling everyone that thats what I was going to do,,,then at the last minute I changed my mind,,,i rembered back to when I done the 416 in my bike and wished I would have went a little bigger and got a little more power! Thats when i called Sparks and TC!! Sparks said it will take 9 to 11 months and he wont even build me a 505 becasue his cases keep splitting,,,well I called TC and TC said Sparks cases keep splitting becasue he is running such a high compression(15:1) in his bike and TC said he has a secret that prevents that from happening anyway,,all sumed up TC said i will build you a 505 and guarantee you you will have the fastest bike out there and have no problems with it!!!! i was talking to Sparks the other day(about a FCR for alky) and he said he figured out why his cases keep splitting, he said such high compression was one reason and there was another reason that he wouldnt tell me!!!

Quadtrix66,,,,,,I understand that you DO NOT want a 505 and that you race MX and have no need for a motor that big, but why do you have to bash my 505 and TC Racing??? i have a feeling that you dont have much knowledge about either the motor or the builder so please go flame someone else!

Knighttime,,,,,,please man, Im begging you, just ignore my posts and stop flaming me, there is no need for it!

And to everyone else, if I sound like I am bragging then I am really sorry, the thing is, I have a 505 in my bike and its hard not to get really exited about it,,,first of all its hard to believe that I was able to even afford something like this(3K on a toy is a LOT of money) and the fact just gets me real exited! I dont have anyone around here to share my experiences with about my 505(all my friends ride Banshees and R's that are all crazy modified, and thats all they care about,,,and the rest of my friends are in jail)( my wife dont know what any of this stuff means!!!) and I come on here to have someone to talk to about it and I have people that start bashing me for it,,,,,point is Im not trying to "brag" about it, I just want someone to share my exitement and experiences with!!

Actually Extreme, the head gasket wasnt even faulty,,,,with almost any motor especially a big bore, you get an extremely lean condition like I caused the head gasket is going to blow,,,actually worse things usually happen so i was pretty lucky!!! You figure it was lean when I got it and I turned the needle an entire 1 1/2 turn leaner!!! Thats like(in a 416 or 440 for example) needing a 170 jet to run perfect and you have a 165 in it,,,then going to a 145 or 150!!! Not good for it!!!!

Tom is a VERY honest man. Hes not going to put out a engine kit that he knows will fail. Obviously u arent familiar with TC. He builds his engines to be reliable. Thats why hes one of the only engine builders that will tell u u dont need differance springs, rockers, valves, etc. And plus i dont think tom would have to lie to sell products. he sells enough of them as it is. Hes a VERY VERY honest man, and makes one H#LL of an engine!

wowee Chad I feel for ya, some peeps is jealous. Some dude asked why Chad built a 400 motor up, well Chad said he wanted the fastest 400ex in Texas thats why.
Hey if yall wanna argue about something at least make it interesting. Argue about Sparks vs TC or TC vs Duncan or something like that. I get tired of "Well TC is junk cuz Chad blew a gasket" At least post some kill stories or something. Ill start.
This guy I race MX against kills me in the holeshot, he has all TC components(cam lectron carb)but the motor has been built by John at LegacyATV. Its been shaved, ported and has a Sparks X-6. The bore is 416 13:1 as far as I know it has the reg size valves. It unbelivable how fast that thing is in the holeshot. Hes usally the first one to the turn, and I am 2nd. I dont have porting yet, or full pipe. There are other TC 416s out there too, as well as a TC 440 but I have yet to see them match this 416
BTW Chad how much money you got in yo 400 now.

I dont have porting yet, or full pipe. There are other TC 416s out there too, as well as a TC 440 but I have yet to see them match this 416
BTW Chad how much money you got in yo 400 now.
X-rider, in all ive probably got around $13,000,,,if everything was added up retail it would be much more but im considering all the sponsor help i have and some of the things ive even got free! Its not stopping there though, my header and midpipe is at Jet Hot right now and i bought a complete polishing shop(buffing motor, compounds, air tools, dremel) to polish every alumium part on it!! I just found out that Im getting a very large sum of money so theres no telling whats in store for this thing!! LRD aluminum frame or a drag frame and quite a bit of other things!!

Really only 13,000? I have almost 19 in mine :eek: And I left a whole lot of stuff out when I added it to 19....which makes it probably over 20:eek: :eek: But its alot of fun...and it wins at the track.

And Guy, why are trying to stop both 505 threads?

And Guy, why are trying to stop both 505 threads? Well first of all it really pisses me off that Guy deleted my thread!!! i guess he has a problem with 505 threads!

Alky, when i said 13,000 thats not including everything that ive done then changed, for example 416 kit, plastic, graphics, Nerf Bars, bumper and quite a few others!! It just including whats on it now!! Everything thats actually been spent on the 400EX is probably around 20k!!!

Oops, and the 13k wasnt including the motor work!! Man im just thinking about how much I would have saved if I had done everything right the first time instead of doing it then redoing it!!!
Alky, i believe im fixing to buy me a Banshee and maybe even a R too!!! that will be next years projects!!

Yea, I have 14k on the bike right now, thats not counting 3 sets of plastic, 2nd and 3rd gear, the lightened "special" crank ;) or any of the polishing...so 14 plus teh 6300 i paid out the door in 99 means I have 19,300 (roughly) sitting in the garage..:eek:
